POPE LEO XIV
<\/strong>Yet you, who have important institutional tasks within this nation, are destined for a special beatitude if you can say that you have put the goal of peace above all else.
<\/em>He also emphasized the richness that religious diversity brings to the country and the need to continue fostering it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>In this context, I would like to emphasize the essential role of women in the arduous and patient endeavour to preserve and build peace. Let us not forget that women have a special capacity for peace-making, because they know how to cherish and strengthen the profound bonds with life, people and places.
<\/em>A children\u2019s choir welcomed Pope Leo XIV upon his arrival at the Presidential Palace, and it was music that formed the final cultural reference the Pope made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This aspect of your culture helps us to understand that peace is not only the result of human effort, however necessary. Indeed, peace is a gift that comes from God and which, above all, dwells in our hearts. It is like an interior motion pushing outwards, enabling us to let ourselves be guided by a melody greater than ourselves, namely that of divine love.
<\/em>With these words, Pope Leo XIV concluded his first day in Lebanon. He will remain in the country until Tuesday, December 2, when he will return to the Vatican.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
